"Ye shall therefore keep my statutes and my judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations; neither any of your own nation, nor any stranger that sojourneth among you: (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled;) That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you." -Leviticus 18:24-28.
Please read also the verses preceeding 24, for the context meant by "these things."
We have noticed the horrendous "natural disaster" phenomenon sweeping our nation during this year 2011. There have been tremendous wildfires, drought, flooding, tornadoes, and even earthquakes. Long ago, the Lord told us that because of evil practices, that the land itself would become defiled; and that this principle had already been at work in the Gentile nations surrounding Israel. As it is written and recorded, this stands as an ongoing principle at work in God's created world- we must take it seriously.
Many, if not all of these defilements exhibited here are strongly rooted by the evolution theory; since 1960, the Federal gov't has been funding this teaching in our school systems, teaching our children that they are nothing but accidental animals, with no God to give an account to! Can't you see this evil influence all around you? This promotes a self-first-love, and do-as-you-feel type morality.
The practices within the U.S. are horrendous, but for some reason we professing believers simply let them happen with barely a whimper of disapproval! No one seems to care about the homosexual defilement that is being pushed throughout America, and even the now the world, thanks to President Obama. It is on television, in movies, taught in schools, approved by clergy, and is now even promoted in the military!
But now murder is becoming more and more blatant. First it is disguised in abortions, declaring the unborn child to be a non-life, and it is about the "mother's body", and her right to choose. Outright murder is coming to the forefront with targeted assassinations by our gov't, on its very own citizenry! This was seen in the killing of American Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki on Sept. 30th. He was accused of numerous things without proof, and executed without being allowed a trial for defense.
Truly, we have murdered millions over the decades through illegal, immoral wars without cause. Today it is routine for predator drones to assassinate various unwanted individuals anywhere in the world, never bothering to ask or inform the governmental jurisdiction involved. Brethren, we will all have to account for this! Were we not warned by Jesus that in these last days iniquity would abound, and that due to this the love of many would wax cold? Return again to your 1st love, asking God to remove the stony places of your heart, and replace it with charity. The issue of bloodshed is one that the Lord takes very seriously. More than any other single reason, this spells out plainly why judgment must fall upon America;
"So ye shall not pollute the land wherein ye are: for blood it defileth the land: and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed therein, but by the blood of him that shed it." -from Numbers 35:33.The Lord has told us that as many as He loves, He rebukes and chastens (Rev. 3:19). He also tells us that in chastening, we are shown to be God's children; yet He scourges every son that He receives. This He does for our good, that we may share His holiness (Hebrews 12:2-17).
Pull close to the Lord in your daily walk. Seek Him diligently, and with true repentance; He is faithful and ready to forgive! Our nation as a whole may be under judgment, yet still divine mercy will be shown to those who individually seek the Lord, and submit.
